REPERTOIRE
In the realm of artistic performance, Monica uses ReiMoves to choreograph unique and moving pieces, with the aim to bring dance to another level. Here she tunes into the sensations of life as a moving experience, in order to create and deliver performances that immerse both dancer and audience in an energy exchange. This is why instead of using traditional counting in her choreographing, Monica synchronizes movement with 'energy time', tuning into the energetic impulses within herself, the space, and her collaborators.
From Earth We Grow
The first sparks of this piece began in the early 2000's, born out of Monica's desire and need to reconnect with nature. After years of living in the metropolis of London, her roots were calling her, in every sense. This work opened a deep exploration of themes such as unity, the importance of Mother Earth, having roots, and growing from authenticity.
